Take Me Somewhere Nice Lyrics
Take me somewhere nice.
To some tired island,
In your heart,
Called Paradise.
Though we wander home
We both feel alone
Like escapees
With no where to go.
I can think of
A thousand ways.
To get good and lost
Beyond these hopeless day
Where we'll rendezvous
Out of the blue
And take a deep breath
Just we two
And we'll be so far gone
The oars will row on
And we will happily wave
So long
If we hook a dream
And it tows it back down
This open stream
We'll say hello
Oh, Oh
Take us wherever you go.
Take me somewhere deep.
'Cause I'm quite exhausted
And I need to sleep
Or climb the great divide
Or wake up beside myself
Just to know I'm alive.
Every weight around
Pays me a visit
And drags my islands down.
They sting like growing pains
Iced in the veins of a guy
Who's not ready to die
If I may be so bold
I'll weather the cold.
'Cause I'm not afraid to grow old
If we hook a dream
And it tows it back down
This open stream
We'll say hello
Oh, Oh
Take us wherever you go
To some tired island,
In your heart,
Called Paradise.
We both feel alone
Like escapees
With no where to go.
A thousand ways.
To get good and lost
Beyond these hopeless day
Out of the blue
And take a deep breath
Just we two
The oars will row on
And we will happily wave
So long
And it tows it back down
This open stream
We'll say hello
Oh, Oh
Take us wherever you go.
'Cause I'm quite exhausted
And I need to sleep
Or climb the great divide
Or wake up beside myself
Just to know I'm alive.
Pays me a visit
And drags my islands down.
They sting like growing pains
Iced in the veins of a guy
Who's not ready to die
I'll weather the cold.
'Cause I'm not afraid to grow old
And it tows it back down
This open stream
We'll say hello
Oh, Oh
Take us wherever you go

I go Sky Sailing all the time. It's quite a lovely activity, takes me away from reality.
Amazing song, definitely one of my top three.
Da chorus always reminds me of a ball in 15th century where ladies n gents dance in pairs^.^
"They sting like growing pains, iced in the veins of a guy Who's not ready to die"
I just love that part! The thing that really gets me about Sky Sailing/Owl City is that the lyrics are just so poetic in the most refreshing way possible.

"Die" in Adam Young's songs (i.e. this and Beautiful Mystery) just means getting your heart broken. So, I think the meaning is just a guy who isn't ready to have his heart broken & he's laying his cards on the table for this girls. Offering her a proposition, saying how they'd be good together etc
